Our read on Covenant Woods Nursing Home
Covenant Woods sits in decent shape on inspections, a 4 out of 5 there, with 13 deficiencies on record but none that rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. Where it struggles is staffing, which lands at 1 out of 5 and drags the overall picture down, along with a quality measure score of 2. The last state visit was March 2024, so the inspection record is reasonably current. As a nonprofit corporation with 62 beds, it's a smaller home, which can cut both ways on consistency. If you're considering it, the inspection history is the reassuring part; ask pointed questions about direct-care hours per resident and turnover before you decide.
